A woman cries for help and hope as her baby girl, expected to die in a matter of days from liver failure, is put into an am- bulance. “God, don’t let her die. She is so young please save her screams the woman. The paramedic replies confidently, ‘There is no need to worry; Q liver donor has been found and the doctors are waiting for your daughter This is just one of the dramatic ways high technology has entered and changed our lives. It has also affected our daily lives through such commonplace advances as instant bankers, calculators, digital watches, video games, and even home computers. All this high technology people tend to take for granted. After all, somebody invents some new gadget every day But when TIME magazine chose a machine for its 1983 Man of the Year, the world was shaken into a startling realization: ‘There is a new world coming [This one] is looming on the desktop’’ (Roger Rosenblatt). Will this new high technology become a tool to serve mankind and bring the good life to near- ly everyone or will it become a villain hurtling us into a loss of individuality? The choice is our own. It will be what we make it, our BRAVE NEW WORLD qc: A A MACHINE i: YEAR LAV The Computer Moves In 2 — Exploring High Technology Exploring High Technology — 3 4 — Exploring High Technology fELANOLOGS GRUAUENS Captain Martin. we have just received a bomb rhrear ar rhe Mall. | have instructed rhe main computer to program Roboto to search out the bomb and disarm it.

Imagine scheduling 3000 students into six classes in less than two hours! Replacing a person's kidney — even his heart — possibly his brain — to prolong and preserve life! Traveling millions of miles from earth at super- sonic speeds! Preparing a full meal in fifteen minures! Storing volumes of information on a tiny piece of microfische! Monitoring a baby’s vital signs inside a mother's womb! Playing video games with three dimensional figures! All this speed and convenience truly make high technology appear to be rhe new savior of rhe world. But at what price?

He is a scientist from the Pfizer, Inc. laboratory and his IQ is even twelve points higher than yours. What a genius you will produce from this union! Your appointment is set for three o'clock. Impossible? Not so. The picture directly above shows Doron Blake, the sec- ond deliberately created genius High technology has made a genetically engineered human race a matter of choice. What will be the choice of the future? Whar should it be? Exciting, challenging, a little scary — high technology forces the new world it has created to answer a few questions, solve a few problems Are we willing to give up our privacy for the benefits of high technology? Computers today can record how much a citizen makes, where he lives, what he owns, whom he calls, what he reads, and where he has been. The Videotex system, a two way television enhancement of the telephone, television, and computer, provides us with lazy chair shopping, banking, mail- ing, and doing computations. However, this useful system is joined to only one telecable, possibly indicating the loss of con- fidentiality. Harnessed to big government, all that data could infringe on our privacy. Are we willing to become just another number? At birth we became 250-68-0537, in school 111 952, at the bank 582049 618724, and the list goes on and on. Numbers really are easier to deal with than humans. But at what point do we lose our identity?

That is because we have guarded the rights, privileges, and — yes — even the responsibilities of our great democracy How far, how far? Yes, high technology has its good points — and some rough spots that will undoubredly be ironed out in due time But the question still remains — how much are we willing to sacrifice n the name of high technology? We are now at the crossroads where we must decide the extent to which we want high technology to invade our lives. We are at the crossroads in computer usage. How much should we allow an inanimate object to know and reveal about our lives? We are at the crossroads with advancements on the walkman radios and the big radio boxes. Are we going fo become so impersonal that we bombard others’ privacy with loud blaring music or are we to become so individualized that we com- pletely shut off the world? We are at the crossroads in cloning How far should we go into tampering with human nature.

Another of his beliefs contributed further to the suc- cess of the Patriot band; he stresses making the piece musical, not just mastering technique The talented musicians who audi- tioned and were chosen for the sym- phonic band strove for perfection. Many of the students prepared for college music programs; others studied for per- sonal development. In concert band, students learned the basics of music, developed their talents, built their skills and became musicians. Periodically, both bands practiced after school aiming for a perfect rating at the annual festival. Also during festival season, the band participated in the Macon Christmas Ball, the Cherry Blossom Festival held in April, and the Rose Parade in Thomasville. They also participated in the University of Georgia State Honor Band and other festivals held throughout Georgia. Their hard work and their desire to be the best made the Southwest Marching Patriots what they were — SIMPLY OUTSTANDING! TOP. LEFT TO RIGHT: The Flute Section.

Their flashing red uniforms with white stars caught the attention of on- lookers as the Star Corps danced to the beat of the Southwest Marching Band. The seventeen-girl Star Corps was not chosen randomly. Over sixty girls trained for three weeks during the summer, learning dance and twirling routines and rudimentals. Picking the team was dif- ficult bacause the judges had to look for coordination, flexibility, and ability’ catch on. Given five minutes to leam routine, the girls had to perform bef? the judges who looked for undenia® qualities. After the strenuous tryouts, the 9 who were chosen attended twill camp for a week held at the Univers’ of Georgia. Three new routines wé taught each day and those routinét were practiced continuously. For of month before school, the majorefé practiced over five hours with the ban starting their morning at 7:30 and not concluding it until 12:30 The finished product, which they not only marvelously performed during halftime but also performed at com- munity and school functions, appeared naturally energetic and outgoing as a result of hours of practice. Surely, it’s not easy being a majorette!! One-hundred and twenty perfectly | tuned instruments combined with one- hundred and twenty talented musicians, under the direction of Mr. William Hunter, created the sound of the 1984 Southwest Marching Patriots. Each student devoted hours of prac- tice a month before school opened, four days a week during football season and twice a week during concert season. These musicians, together on a foorball field, produced one of the most exciting marching bands around. This year's band performed for a wide variety of listeners. During halftime at football games, the band provided ex- citing entertainment, including an ex- hilarating dance routine consisting of a chair-step march which never ceased to gain the approval of the students. Perfor- mances included selections ranging all the way from Michael Jackson's hit album, Thriller, to an entire show devoted to country music. All in all, the Patriot Band has the sound that is BAD!

Another group of talented musicians has become actively involved not only at Southwest but throughout the city. That group, the Choral Music Department, consisted of about one-hundred and for- ty students under the head of Doris Terry, an experienced and worthy director who spent extra hours after school planning and preparing for up- coming performances. The four choirs, the Choraliers, the Trubadors, the Jazz Rock Choir, and the Concert Choir performed songs frof many periods of music. The Choraliess made of entirely girls, sang from basic ly all periods including show tunes ant ‘| Feel Pretty’ from Westside Story. The all-male choir, the Trubadors, performet barber shop music and other selection arranged for male voices. ‘Fame’ ant other popular and secular music we performed by the Jazz Rock Cho whose flashy outfits correspondet perfectly with the style of music rhe} performed. A more reserved choir, thé Concert Choir, sang selections such as “Time is My Friend’’ and “Prayer.” Each year students are nominated for the All-State Chorus. After auditions, five students of the Choral Music Department, Kim Davis, Arlene Green, Scott Horne, Gwen Moore, and John Richmond competed for All-State Chorus. After making it through the first audition, the students auditioned a se- cond time with Arlene, Scott and John chosen for the All-State Chorus which was held in Savannah. Each received a medal for his ac- complishments. Scott was also chosen as an alternate in music in the Governor's Honors Program. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: The Madrigals.

Doris Terry head of the Choro! Music Department, directs a choir preparing for spring concert Chorus — 24 Practice Does Make Perfect For Southwest Chorus The Choral Music Department re- mained active throughout the year Starting with daily practices and continu- ing with practices until the year’s end, they performed numerous concerts, in- cluding an excellent Christmas concert at Macon Junior College where they sang excerpts, from ‘Handel's Messiah” using a combination of the choirs. Often, a single choir performed alone, such as the Jazz Rock Choir, which performed concerts On campus, af shopping centers, and at elementary schools. The chorus attended many workshops and festivals throughout the year. At the workshops, they learned new music and studied basic techniques of singing. A group went to the Universi- ty of Georgia for a choral workshop at the beginning of the year where they spent a full day learning new music and, in the evening, they performed with the University singers. On March tenth, the Concert Choir traveled to Central High school for a festival which is held annual- ly. This year they rated Excellent for their performance of ‘Ain't Got Time To Die’ and “Sing a New Song To the Lord. ’ When attending festivals, the choirs are rated as a whole but this year several soloists attended a Solo Ensemble Festival at Fort Valley State College where they were rated in- dividually, | for superior, ll for excellent, Ill for good, and IV for fair. To conclude such a superb year, the Choral Music Department attended a banquet where awards were given to outstanding musicians of the chorus. This year was indeed crowded with ac- tivities which, once again, showed the excellence of the Choral Music Department. TOP. LEFT TO RIGHT: Senior Chorus Members.

Every Monday the ROTC students prepared themselves for inspection by Sgt. Brahman; if he found someone the least bit out of order, the student would get demerits (points) taken off his average. They were grad- ed on such things as neatness, shined shoes, uniform appearance, and most important, shined brass. On Wednesdays they practiced with their M1903 30 caliber rifles, not shooting of a 2 jer ot a course, but for color guard and parade There is a relatively new activity taking place the ROTC Outstanding cadets get Outstanding achievements through the year.

EXTRA! Read All About It This paper was not against “all odds” but it did start the year with a disadvan- fage — an almost completely new staff! Mattie Cheatham was rhe Editor of the staff; she brought experience and leadership to the other staffers. ZeEster Clyatt, Linda Wright, and Tracey Copeland were indispensible in the amount of work they accomplished. The Advisor, Eleanor Taylor, gave a short rundown of the paper from cover to back: News — ‘We did a good job in covering what is going on, considering the limited staff. The writing was also ex- ceptionally good.’ Editorials — ‘This was one of our weaker sections. We did not have as much response from the students as we have had before.’ Features — ‘| would have fo rate this section fair. Jeff Rutherford’s music col- umn was good, and there was a lot of variety, but writing lacked.’’ Soorts — “This was a stranger section as far as coverage goes. With such a limited number of papers printed per quarter, we may wind up having an entire foot- ball season in just one issue. There was just too much compositing to be done.” Club News — “| would have to rate this fair. With such a limited stoff it is difficult to get to every club covered. We had to rely on the clubs to get the informa- tion to us. Sometimes, we would wind up getting information through the grapevine. | only wish clubs would do more to help us our.” The Patri-Article received a first place award at the GSPA. Reginald Reeves placed first in the writing category. Mat- tie Cheatham won the Golden Eagle Award sponsored by the Macon Telegraph and News, and she was also Editor of the Teen Page. ZeEster Clyatt was busy campaigning in her bid for President of student GSPA, which she won. All ‘odds’ considered, the staff did an excellent job. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Patri-Article Staff.

The group that does all of this is, of course, the Complex Council. This council is headed by Presi- dent Beverly Plunkett, Vice President Jennifer Adkins, and Advisor Betty Stewart. The Council started the year off by welcoming the teachers back and get- ting things going. In October they had a Banana Split for the teachers, and one eee they seemed to enjoy making them @ much as the teachers enjoyed eatin them. During American Education Wee! they wrote poems and made them init book markers. At Christmas they mad decorated paper holders for the teachers and sold Christmas tree cand) canes. In November they attended the Student Council Seminar at Clayton Junior College in Atlanta and won the spirit award. This workshop had variou seminars about school spirit, as well creative ideas for assemblies and fun¢ raisers. For Homecoming, they were I charge of the decorations and they sponsored a dance after the game. The council was in charge of the Spring Fling activities which were in April. On February 15, they visited the State Capital where they learned more about the procedures of government. In late April and early May 1984, elections were held to elect new officers for the 1984-85 school year. The council also went to the newly reopened Cyclorama at Grants Park in Aflanta. Throughout the year, they spent a vast amount of time learning about parliamentary procedure. The class would write essays and give speeches to expand their knowledge of govern- mental procedures Before the Council could get closer to all of the students at Southwest, they must first become closer to each other. To make sure that they knew everyone in their group, they had different seating arrangements each week. This is just one of the many things which shows that Southwest Complex Council really cares that Southwest is always number one. TOP.

A prominent part of Orange Crush Week was the annual Central burial ceremony led by advisor and ‘‘preacher’’ Charles Murphy. Another big event of the club was sponsoring the Sweetheart Coronation held on February 14 The Pep Club sold Southwest jerseys to raise money for their exciting trip to New Orleans April 4-7, where they attended a jazz concert, toured the Louisiana Superdome, the New Orleans Museum of Art, the wax museum, a candy company, and the Sr. Louis Cathedral.

No longer could students housed nN one building belong to Beta with a 3.0 average and those building with a 3.5 average. Af last every student at Southwest must abide by the same standards, all one hundred and members! So that members could be included in other clubs, meetings were held, not on ‘‘club day,’’ but on the second Tuesday of every month. Meeting times were nN another seventy-one onthly -achers ap of miss the same Clq net. On regular cly days the Beta Council, whict every fime they consisted g eight Seniors — four Juniors, and eigh Sophomores, met. They discussed way of raising money, decided on projeq and prepared for the next club meeting After narrowing down the project li Elaina Evans presented the list to th. whole club art the meeting.

Members of Beta Club donated money to pay for Johnny Hidgon’s lunch for four months and pro- vided Johnny and his family with Christmas dinner. Johnny is the Spirit Director for Southwest. A sport event without Johnny there to help would not be the same! For American Education Week, which was held in November, Beta filled all four teacher's lounges with cakes cookies, chips, and other homemade treats. Refreshments were also provid- ed the day before Christmas vacation Also in December, personal hygiene items were taken to the Macon Rescue Mission to be given to abused wives and their children To help pay for the trip to Atlanta for the Strate Beta Convention, members participated in several fundraisers. Two cake sales, one on November 22 and the other on December 17, were held at the Aim shopping center. Each member baked a cake for at least one of the sales. The next fundraiser was Tupper- ware. All members were to sell a minimum of fifty dollars worth. A gar- ment bag was given to the person sell- ing the most and a camera, to the per- son selling the second highest amount. Because of Gerry Robertson, the club’s Tupperware representative, the club ended up with a profit of over five hun- dred dollars. February 10 finally rolled around. At eight o'clock in the morning, things were pretty hectic for about eighty Beta Club members and their advisors. It was time to head for the Dunfey Hotel in Atlanta for the annual Georgia Beta Convention. February 10 through the 12 was a time when Beta members from all over Georgia met to compete in academic and other competitions, such as state officer campaigns. Jada Neal, a Junior, campaigned all day Friday with help from fellow Beta members and became state President. Other competi- tions included Quiz bowl, English, math, and science competitions and a W.

Led by President Bruce Edwards and Advisors Elmer Whitaker and Randolph Wilson, this year's club did more projects than ever before. Some of the projects com- pleted this year were telephoning mothers to participate in the March of Dimes, working with Special Education kids in preparation for the Special Olym- pics, washing cars numerous fimes, volunteering hundreds of man hours to help reconstruct the Good News Chan nel Seven Television Station, selling frul cakes during the Christmas Holidays winning first place in the Bed-A-Race selling balloons to benefit Jerry Lewis’ kids, preparing food for the Jones Cour ty Pilot club, buying two water coole’s for Willingham B, collecting money fo the Muscular Dystrophy, selling trast bags with the proceeds going to the Cerebral Palsy, and holding a Bill Boy? Over Eighty Celebration. The club of tended five district meetings throughou! the year. One of the main reasons for the Civitan's was the club's district officers. As Governor of the entire South Georgia District, Paul Whitehead implemented Monthly Newsletters, new activities, and he even traveled to Canado to repre- sent the District in a fund-raising project. Others who represented us well were Chris Freeman — Lieutenant Governor Area Six, and Norwood Wilder — Committee Chairman for the South Georgia District. Bruce filled in several times as Lieutenant Governor. He, along with two Southwest Civinettes, attended Canada's twenty-five hour Dance-A- Thon where he raised over eight hun- dred dollars.

To start it off, they presented apples to teachers on the first day of school. Then they served as ushers for Senior Citizens at Bill Boyd's 8O and Over Birthday Party As the fall moved in, they showed their appreciation at Homecoming by giving each foorball player a bag of candy and the coaches homemade goods. Later, they adopted a trail at the Ocmulgee National Monument and rais- ed over $240 on Yellow Ribbon Day for the mentally retarded For Halloween projects, the Civinettes sold tickets for the VFW Trail of Terror and threw a party for orphans at the Methodist home. At the end of the foot- ball season, they provided cupcakes for the players, coaches, and managers, after which they gave out pamphlets to announce the tenth anniversary of Volunteer Macon. During the early winter, they par- ticipated in the second annual 6th district Skate-a-Thon, gave teachers refreshments for American Education Week, and raised $168 at their first an- nual Egg Day for muscular dystrophy.

This past year the club sponsored elementary math meets and a city wide Mu Alpha Theta meeting for private and public schools that have a Mu Alpha Theta club. The club paid the fee for the math team in a lot of their events. It also raised money to buy a com- puter so that the members could have hands-on experience using one The Science Club did a pretty good job of promoting interest in science this past year. During several of the meetings, they had slide presenta- tions about Nuclear Energy, NASA and even one that showed the club members that made science projects how to present them. In the past, they had had Science professors from colleges talk to the club members about future careers in science. The science club also provided a Christmas program for the children in Bibb County's Special Education program. During the first three Drama Club meetings, Carline Leonard organized a short skit competition between the classes. The Seniors won with a fan- tastic play about the differences in student personalities. Also concerned with the aging Douglas Theater, they donated a sizable sum of money to get restoration under way. A real special get together took place in February when the club members threw a baby shower for Caroline Leonard, their advisor. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Tommy Herring does his best Dracula.

The members of this club freq uently v1sited nursing homes to give manicures and create different hair styles for the people there. For Valen- tine’s Day, they sold decorated suckers to raise money for jerseys.

That is what Southwest's two DECA clubs thought this year. Myrtle Thorpe and Charles Rogers, the club advisors, thought that since the clubs worked well together in the past, they should keep up the tradition. During October they threw two Halloween parties, one at Peggy's Stay and Play; the other, at the Macon Rescue Mission for needy children. On November 17 they placed refreshments in the teachers’ lounge for American Education Week. Their Thanksgiving project was fixing a food basket to be given to a needy family. The Industrial Arts Club, headed by Ronald Taylor and Jerry Joyner, helped Southwest by repairing damaged items around the school. On November 6, they held a car wash at Precision Tune on Pio Nono Avenue so they could raise money to attend the state convention. They also participated in clean-up day, painted Willingham A's sign, and made towel racks.

At the end of July they went to the University of Georgia for the National Cheerleading Association. There, working as a team for the first time, they performed for others. Returning home with three superior ribbons and one excellence a ae my ee. rating, they were ready to shoy Southwest students and other schook what u cheerleading squad should be like. August was just like July, more practice. But the girls never complained because they wanted to be ready ang ready they were Cheering is not the only skill the Vars. fy squad has mastered. After every game, win or lose, the cheerleade always boosted the morale of the Southwest Varsity Football team. At the beginning of the football season, the cheerleaders each picked two or three senior players as secret pals. Throughout the season they did special things for them. Homebaked cakes, cards, candy and miscellaneous knick knacks were hidden in pockets, lockers or any place that they were sure to be found. Bever- ly Plunkett gave Rodney Davis a Smurf football player, a Georgio Bulldog cup and lots of candy, for instance. At the end of the season the secret pals re- vealed themselves. The signs the cheer- leaders held up for the football players to run through before each game showed their artistic talents. Spending time after school to paint signs was even further proof of their devotion. But again, there were no complaints. To raise money for Cheerleading Camp, they even had a bake sale at K-Mart and a car wash During basketball season, they went on several out-of-town trips, spending two days and one night in Florida to play Vanguard and four days and three nights in Albany at the Kentucky Fried Chicken Classics. All in all the Southwest Varsity Cheerleaders had an excellent season. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Cheerleading Advisor Eleanor Taylor.

On August 26, against Mays, the offense was tremendous, getting 305 total yards on the night and scoring 27 points. The defense was awesome as they held Mays to only 45 total yards and recorded their first shutout in several years. When the last tick ticked, SW had beaten Mays 27-0.

When Alex Strong took the oper ing play 72 yards for a touchdown, it was a sign of things to come in that game. The Patriot offense had a field day, while the Washington defense may as well not even have shown up The Patriot offense was again over powering as they piled up 341 total yards, while the defense held Washington to just 12 points. The final score was S.W. 33, Wash. 12. The Southwest Patriots had now won as many games in two outings as it had in the entire '82 season and were hungry for more. The Big Red Machine beat the Perry Panthers on September 9, the third straight victory of the season. When S.W. star Junior QB Alex Strong went down with a nagging ankle injury, the SW fans thought it was all over, but Sophomore Mike Smith bolted down the game with a late drive. His 14 yard run was the final shot as the scoreboard read SW 21, Perry 17. The Southwest game-winning stretch came to an abrupt end September 16 when the nationally ranked Tift Co. rolled over the Patriot defense, piling up 45 points. The offense of the Patriots was not much better as they moved in- side the 20 yard line many times but came out empty handed. Southwest dropped its second straight game as the Americus Panthers beat the Patriots 41-0. The first two times we touched the ball, we fumbled it inside our 20 yard line. We gave them the game. TOP.

Also return- ing to Hatcher's game plan was his famed run and gun shotgun offense Alex and the shotgun offense were im- mediately put to the test, since their op- ponents last year's region champs. The Warner Robins Demons known for their rushing attack, rushed for 333 yards. But it was not a total blowout as the 37-3 score reads. We would drive the length of the field and come up with nothing were In the game against Northside, things went wrong for the Patriots. Northside played keep-away the entire first hol of play, only giving the Patriots 15 offen- sive plays to their 42. Southwest's lone score of the night came on an Alex Strong 2 yard TD run. As the final tick tocked, it was Southwest — 6, Northside — 34 Southwest lost to Northeast 28-21 in a game that we should have at least tied It was GQ good game throughout, as jt went down to the wire. Going into the half, the Raiders had only a 21-14 lead thanks to the Patroit offense who took the ball 56 yards to score just before the half dominated the 3rd quarter by holding the Raiders to an in- credible 4 yards total. The game was decided by a N.E. 80 yord 4th quarter drive that broke the 21-21 tie. We made two last minute drives that the Raiders were unable to stop. It was fumbles and a bad call that decided our game it did not take the Baldwin Braves long to show the Southwest masses who was boss this year and when the final merciful whistle had blown, the Patriots had fallen to their sixth consecutive loss.

It proved to be an offense highlight game, with Southwest marching up the field runn- ing, and Central doing the same through the passing game. But after the last buzzer sounded in regulation, the Southwest team and the Central ream were locked in a 14-14 tie. Since thi s was a subregion game, the allowed five minute overtime score WwdaAS teams were two periods to settle their differences. S.W received the kickoff for the first over- time period taking the ball 60 yards in 12 plays all on the ground. Mike Smith went over from the 6 for the TD that made it 20-14 5.W. The extra point was blocked, and that is all Central needed to set up their winning performance Central's QB threw a 43 yard comple- tion for a TD that ended the game with an upsetting score of 21-20.

They did a super job finishing 5-1 for the year, losing only to Central. We beat Warner Robins and Northside in two of the toughest games played all year. The Northside game was definitely the most exciting because we won it in the last nine seconds of the game; it was fourth down and goal to go on the five yard line. Greg Greene took the snap and bootlegged it around the right for the winning touchdown. That game was a rare occasion for us winning it in the fourth quarter. Ironically most of our games were won in the third quarter. In the average game we got about eight first downs and about four yards per carry. Our defense held our opponents to under 150 total yards per game. Coaches Albert Sharpe and Eddie Ashley were extremely pleased with the teams’ overall performance, buf there were a few players that stood out: Kevin Bryson, running back; Greg Greene, quarterback; Rudolph Pen- nimon, an outstanding receiver who came up with a few clutch catches; Jarratt Cross, offensive guard and Milton Cuyler, free safety. One of our biggest weaknesses was our kicking game, but what really bothered the coaches was the lack of depth. Our strong point was our defensive line. The Southwest High School B-team Cheerleaders were led by Captain Regina Davis and Co-captain Kim Dug- gan along with Advisor Eleanor Taylor. The squad consisted of eight Sophomores who, along with the varsi- ty cheerleaders, practiced in July and August preparing for the season. Much of their training came from the National Cheerleading Association which was held at the University of Georgia at the end of July. During this week they were awarded with several ribbons for their cheering abilities. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: B-ream Foorball Players.

They unofficially finished the season with a 11-0 record, but because one wrestler was a month and a half too old, the season became an official 0-11. Coach Dennis Gorman feels that this mishap occurred at a bad time with the state matches coming up, but he stresses that the coaches and the team had nothing at all to do with it. The wrestlers just had to pick it up and do the best they could. This is Coach Danny Grube’s first year coaching wrestling at Southwest. He is knowledgeable ff wrestling and was a big help in the team’s success. The wrestling team cot sisted mainly of Juniors and Seniors, s the biggest reason for the team’s suc cess was experience. Another reasof could be attributed to the coaches set ting such a hard schedule for the team Several wrestlers especially stood out Willie Watson has a lifetime record o 92 wins, 70% by pin, only 12 losses, an¢ 1 tie. He is also the three-time Southwes champion, finishing this year with a 24 2-1 record, and he won the Cook an¢ the Southwest Invitational tournaments. He finished second in State, second in Region, and second in Sub-Region Virgil Ludlum finished the season with a 15-2-1 record, placed first in Cook Co Tournament, first in Sub-Region and first in Region. He worked extremely hard for four years and, although he was in- jured in state competition, he finished second in state. Tony Butler finished the season with a 22-7 record, came in first in Sub-Region, second in Region, and fourth at Southwest Tournament. His ex- perience produced a respected wrestler. Roderick Green finished the season with an 18-6 record and placed third at Southwest Tournament, second in Sub-Region, and second in Region. He set his goal to make the Srare Tourna- ment and achieved it. Coach Gorman feels this was the best season we have ever had and we are very fortunate to have a good B-team and junior high program to replace those who are graduating.

Just five years ago the Patriots were proclaimed the Na- tional Champions of high school basket- ball. Since then, Southwest has con- tinuously ranked in the top ten in the state. But wait, this year, Southwest was confronted with a stronger 2AAAA East Region than ever before. There were the Baldwin Braves and the Northeast Raiders, and now the Central Chargers emerged as another contender Another factor that would seem fo sug- gest that maybe Southwest had lost an edge was the experience and Though the starting line-up consisted of four senior olayers lack of team depth and one junior, only two had playe¢ much on last Senior guard Terrance “Coe Howard, an All-State selection and 4g nominee for the prestigious McDonalds All-American Team, and 6’7” Junio; center Grayer, an All-State nominee, provided the only big game experience. Rounding out the starting line-up were Senior point guard Terry Reese, Senior small forward Victo year's state runners-up ream Steve Gra yer U 1d Senior DOW er forw ord Jeff Greene. Others contributing much fo this Alex Strong, and were Junior Wise, rear) yeor 5 Sophomore Earl Junior Sammy Wiggins. Southwest had some trouble putting a string of wins together. In the Ken tucky Fried Chicken Classic, however the Southwest faithful began to see the Patriots play as they normally would. In the Championship game, our big men overpowered Kerry Hammonds to seal a victory. With the Christmas Classic Championship in hand, the Patriots see- sawed through the second half of the season. They finished the regular season with a modest 15-7 record, 5-5 in the tough sub-region. It was at this time, as is a custom, that Coach Donald Richardson had the Patriots put on their real game shoes. Southwest had struggled through the likes of Chris Rainey’s long ranges and his pressing defenses, the power play of Kerry Ham- monds, and the run-and-gun Baldwin Brave offense. But now, Southwest was given a second chance to prove who was the king of the baskerball court jumpshots teams Nerthewss trying te here Patients Colmrwmn are TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT dunk over an opponent a: once Howard looks on.

Twice this year, the Chargers had beaten the Patriots. For a while the Southwest team kept it close. Then, turnovers began to plague the Southwest team, and to make matters worse, Chris Rainey’s jumpers could never look better. At the half the Patriots were down by twelve points. As the second half started, the team began to play better. Terry Reese and Victor V Grayer started to come on strong. The team handled the pressing defenses of Central calmly and to perfection, but Central still maintained the lead. They stayed in front until mid-way through the fourth quarter when Terry puf an eighteen foot jumper through the nets. After that shot, Southwest never looked back as they upset the Chargers 79-74. Earlier that day, the Northeast Raider upset the top-seeded Baldwin Braves, so the Sub-Region Championship Game was set up with the Raiders facing off against the Patriots. Behind Kerry Ham- monds, Northeast dealt the Southwest team a heart breaking loss. The final was 74-72. In the first Region game, the high powered Spencer of Columbus Basket- ball team seemed to be too much for th e Patriots. Steve Grayer was not play- ing as well as he usually does on the in- side. Even Terrance Howard was strugg!- ing. With five seconds left in the game, and after clawing their way back from a twelve point deficit, Reese put up a jumper that tingled the twine. With one second left in the Overtime period and Southwest trailing by one, Steve was fouled. Grayer used perfect rotation to sink both free throws to clinch a much needed victory. The next night, with the Region Championship on the line, the Patriots got behind again, this time against the Northeast Raiders. With Southwest losing 60-58, Howard put up a long jumpshot that ended as string music. That tied the score, and moments later, Terrance Howard sank a short baseline jumper to win the game and the AAAA Cham- pionship — all of these fireworks in the final minute of the game! Squeezing past Dougherty before los- ing to Statesboro in overtime in the Le State tournament, Southwest finished with a 20-9 record and ranked ninth in the state.

Coach Albert Sharpe and assistant Coach Willie Goolsby felt that this year there were more players that could score in all areas. We had a very versatile team this past year, as Opposed to last year we had too many specialty players that could not play other positions and were lacking badly in outside shoots. Coach Goolsby felt that it was great that we finished with a 14-9 record last year, but he was still disappointed that because our players did not reach a ca down and get that little bit extra the needed to have an even better seaso, Our goal for next, and many seaso; to follow, will be to find high quality be players that are determined to Give the extra 120 percent while on the coy and have a great deal of self motiy, tion and respect The Kentucky Fried Chicken Classic } Albany, Georgia was especially exciting for the girls since they finished in 2ne place. In the first game agains Westover, we were losing all of the fi half before coaches Sharpe ang Goolsby decided to go fo. a man-to-man full court press defense. It caused Westover to make numerous turnovers that turned into baskets for us — they just could not stand the pressure. The lady patriots also prevailed by beating arch rival Northeast Raiderettes. Again we were most powerful in our man-to- man. The biggest advantage for Southwest was that we had people like Chery! Woolfolk, Angela Rhymes, and Val Coleman to come off the bench and do an outstanding job. We lost to Colquitt Co. in the semi-finals. Coach Goolsby felt the girls performance was flat that game; they were so pumped up in the Westover-Northeast games that they did not have anything left for the Colquitt Co. girls In the Sub-Regional playoffs, our first game against Northside, Coach Goolsby was surprised we beat them as badly as we did. We lost a rough second game to Baldwin which we kept close for 3 quarters, but Baldwin pulled it out in the 4th.

He turned it around to seasons like 20-5 and 22-3. Coach Gooslby has high hopes for the team; his goal is for the team to make it all the way to the State. He has stated before that he sees good things ahead for girls’ basketball at Southwest. We had five players that Coach Sharpe and Coach Gooslby really agreed did an outstand-ing job last year: Gayla Howard — Gayla was a great offensive player during last year's season. She averaged an outstanding 18 points, and 11 rebounds a game. ‘She has a natural ability for the game, and all she lacks is t he basis of a good of titude. She must tell herself she wants fo play regardless of attitude,’’ Gooslby explained. Dewanda Henry — Dewanda’s op ponents really had to work hard to get around her because she was all over the court. She averaged a very respec table 12 points a game while also con ing up with an average of 7 rebounds. “Dewando’'s biggest asset is that she is a hard worker. She really excelled on defense and inside play,’’ said Goosiby. Sharon Cliett — What an offensive plus for the team she was last season! Sharon averaged 12 points and 7 re- bounds a game. Sharon is a great jumper and very aware of what is go- INQ ON around her. ‘‘“When she has her mind set to play ball, you better watch out,” said Goosiby. Angela Hill — Although Angela needs tO work on defense a little, she is prob- ably the soundest ballplayer on the team. She averages about 10 points and 6 rebouns a game. ‘‘Angela has a fine attitude, great personality, just a really nice person,’’ said Goosiby. Ann Spivey — Ann was a defensive fire ball on the floor stealing the ball about two times a game. She was also very unselfish as she came up with 6 assists a game. “| wish we could have had twelve more players on the team like her. Ann gave 120% every game she played in and made the most of the big plays. Ann never was a problem on the Floor,’’ bragged Gooslby.

Well, that was the story for our B-Team girls ex- cept Coach Willie Goolsby knew what it was the girls were lacking; it was that killer instinct that you need to win, you know, sort of like the eye of the tiger. All in all you have to be satisfied because it is only the B-Team and they did have a winning record of 6-5. A lot of credit turns toward Willie Goolsby because the team did not have a lot of raw talent, so Willie Goolsby turned all of them in the righ direction. SW should have a fine young girls’ varsity squad next year. As always there were a few people that stood oy on the team: Stacey Noltion — For a point quar Stacey put on an offensive showcase When she was hot, the floor belonged to her. Stacey averaged 20 points o game, and 6 assists. There were two games where she pumped in ap unheralded 30 points leading her team to sure victory. ‘Stacey has the poten; tial to be an overall outstanding ballplayer,’’ according to Gooslby. Kim Bentley — At 61” could you doubt Kim was the leading rebounder getting 44 a game. “Kim has the ability to be a great center for us. She is real in- telligent and catches on very fast,” said Gooslby. Kim Passmore — ‘Kim is just one big piece of raw talent just itching to be molded into a great forward. Kim does not ride in her brother's style (Terry Fair, afew years back). She has a style of her own. Kim averaged 8 points and 8 re- bounds a game,”’ said Gooslby. The B-Team boys were full of desire to win, but not of stature. With a 510 record, you can easily point your finger at height as our biggest problem. Our best rebounder, Rudolph Pennimon could only manage 6 a game. Mike Smith was our leading man in assist with 7 a game. Brian Strong and Bernard Sharpe pumped in an average of 10 points a game. Coach Robert Hudson feels that the following players will help the varsity in guard position: Darren Ware, Eric Jackson, Brian Strong. Robert Hudson is hoping for some more height for next year's varsity squad. Though the team struggled through a rough season, Coach Don Richardson had a way of turning things around.

The city championship rested in the hands of the 4 man mile relay team consisting of Dallas Davis, Cedric Dean, Antonio Jones, and the last leg, Leon Dean. As Leon headed into the home stretch, the crowd erupted with jubilation. Southwest had brought home the glory that goes with the city championship, an honor that had eluded them since 1970 — fourteen long years! The teams competing for the city title were Southwest, Central, and Northeast. Central was out of it in the early goings so that left the two fierce foes to battle it out. Everyone knows that when Southwest and Northeast compete, the outcome will be excitement-filled. Throughout the season the athletes maintained a positive attitude, which helped them attain their 7-1 record. Con sistency was also a major attribute throughout the season. We were strong in a number of areas so that eliminated the possibility of be- ing wiped out by other teams in their respected events. Alex Strong, Kedrick Bld Pennimon, and Reginald Wilson were naturals in the 100-200- and 440 relays. Against every team we dominated those events hands down. Cedric Dean, Ernest Mintz, and Antonio Jones were capable of winning every time in the long jump and the triple jump. All of the guys listed above are going to be back next year so Southwest has a lot to look forward to. Keith Major set a school record in the 120 high hurdles and has great potential for being one of the best state hurdlers ever. The Southwest Track team finished second in the Bibb Co. Coca-Cola Invita- tional Track Meet. The goal for next year is to win, of course. Coach Willie Goolsby sums up the season best: ‘The kids did a great job this year. Leon Dean was first in the state in the 880. Ernest Mintz was sixth in the state in the triple jump. We have a lot of talent coming back, and | personally (100%) think we can win it all next year, with a LOT of hard work and determination. | would like to thank David Carey for the great work he does with the kids; | couldn't do it without him.” TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Track team.

ZeEster Clyatt received a trophy for the most outstanding tennis player of the season. She displayed some of her strongest points in single matches. The fop ranked doubles team was Allison Ross and Dyonna Lewis. Allison's swift style of playing and her ability to hit the ball just at the right angle and Dyonna's terrific backhand and her quick thinking ability made the team of Ross and Lewis a great combination. Tara Bryant possessed many athletic qualities, but Most of all, she was a very determined player. Tara competed in both doubles and singles matches as did all members of the team. ‘This year was a fairly good year,” said ZeEster Clyart, ‘but what was really disappointing was the fact that out of a large high school of 3000 students, the girls tennis team con- sisted of only four players.’’ She con- tinued, ‘We felt some pressure at first but Coach Albert Sharpe pumped us full of high spirit.

Tucker, and Milton Cuyler all batted over .300. A solid batting order like that is what led to a season of averaging almost eight points a game. Tony Butler led the batting department with an unheard of .444 batting average. Jim Veal, not only a strong pitcher but a strong hitter as well, smacked seven homers during the course of the season Those are some pretty nice batting statistics, but what about fielding? Well out of nineteen games, we held our op- ponents to an average of only four points a game. We shut out Baldwin twice and Northeast once. In pitching, Southwest had a model year. Jim Veal pitched in twelve of the nineteen games. Jim finished the year with a 9-3 record and had a 2.17 earned run average. Dean Kuznieski, as © sophomore, came up from the B-team and started three games. His record was 24 with a team low earned run average of 1.75. Keith Foster and Tony Butler got the job done well as they won three games between them and recorded no losses. Individual fielding standouts include the likes of Steve Shouse who hardly let any balls get through the gap between second and third. J. R. Tucker had that strong arm to power out the throws that the average third baseman cannot make. Joel Leslie at second and Kyle Hobbs af first combined graceful double plays. The infield was anchored by catcher Kenny Shepherd. In the outfield, the Patriots were blessed with an abundance of speed. In leftfield, Tony Butler displayed good range and a strong arm. In_ rightfield, several players got extensive playing time. Those included were Reginald Worthy, Keith Foster, and Shelton Bowens. In centerfield, Milton Cuyler combined speed, a good arm and excellent range. All in all, the Patriots were tough! TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Milton Cuyler shows the very form that led to his .407 batting average. Kyle Hobbs warms up in the outfield with other players before a game at the Southwest ballpark. Kenny Shepherd is congratulated by all the team ofter hitting a game winning homerun. BOTTOM, LEFT TO RIGHT: Milton is almost fast enough to catch the very boll he hits. This is why they call Milton a vacuum cleaner in centerfield; not many people can catch and jump like he can. Baseball ream Third row.

Varsity Baseball — 87 B-team Baseball Prevails while Golf Team Looks Onward to Next Year 88 — B-Team Baseball Southwest B-Team Baseball did a fan- tastic job, turning out a final season record of 6-3. Coach Clyde Bardon felt that this year’s performance was the best experience he has ever had in coaching any sport. The main con- tributor to the team’s success was an overall team effort. “The whole concept of the B-Team is to play as many boys as we possibly can and see where they will be most ef- fective,’ according to Coach Bardon. All the players need to do is mature and they will be a big help to the varsity. Dean Kuznieski developed very fav on the B-Team, so fast that he started ° few of the varsity games pitching Wendell Adkins was also a quick rise! especially in the hitting departmen Wendell led the team with 5 homerun Not only did he hit and have a gooe batting average but he pitched e tremely well. Mike Malone was also ¢ standout ployer, he played goo defense and came up with some clute hits that opened some games wid open. The patriot golfers went through ° dilusioning ‘84 season of looking toward Q win every match but coming up emp- ty handed. The golfers knew that they had the ability to beat their opponents but fate failed them in the final holes. The Southwest team’s season record finished at 1-4, but that is not really as bad as it sounds. The four matches they did lose were not blo w aways; it came down to the last hole almost every time. Last year was a good season and with a whole year's practice before NExf season, it looks very promising. There were four Juniors and one fp j Sophomore on the team, so the way it looks for next year is three starting Seniors and one Junior with who knows how many new additions on the team. The sub-regions were especially disappointing for the golfers because they missed going to the regions by on- ly 6 strokes, an extremely close margin. David Rogers was the low medalist for the '84 season, turning in three 79 scores. He had a_ season-ending average of 82. Don Crumpton was close behind David with a season-ending average of 85.

The business classes moved from McEvoy B to McEvoy A; most of the math classes were moved to Willingham B; Jake Singleton, the former assistant principal of McEvoy B, moved to Willingham A; Ann Proctor became the new assistant principal in McEvoy B; and the Home _ Economics Department was consolidated in the McEvoy B building. The Home Economics teachers felt their being brought together was an excellent idea. They are believers in the American family, and their purpose is to train and prepare students for the oc- cupation of homemaking. Now that they have an office, they can better use the food and clothing labs, and best of all, they can share ideas, plan together so that one class does not duplicate work done in another class, and share community resource people. One disadvantage in moving to the Senior building is that it does not have air conditioning. Other than that, everybody is pleased with the changes on the Southwest campus.

Until recently, most people have felt it was the parents’ responsibility to in- form their children in this area. Statistics argued against that opinion. In Bibb Coun- ty alone, there were over 200 births and over 200 abortions to teenage girls in 1982. Finally the community and the Board of Education agreed that sex education should be taught in school. At Southwest, three teachers attended seminars and workshops held by the Board of Education to learn how to and what fo inform the students. Officially, this is the first year sex education has been taught in public schools, although it was included to a cer- tain extent in some health classes. Carolyn Johnson, a health teacher, ad- mitted that teaching sex education is much like teaching other subjects, but she feels that because their need for information is greater in this area, the students learn more.

When 3 they were asked how they liked exit SI teaching at Southwest, they replied, “Wonderful,” ““Outstanding,”” ‘'Terrific.’’ 74) They were especially impressed with : Mercer Univ Or “ me WEXT RIGHT the “college-like’’ atmosphere and freedom students have at Southwest. The new teachers think the students, as a whole, are polite and mature. New Southwest teachers include John Bond, a computer specialist; Leone Secrist, a ten year veteran math teacher; Cynthia Dixon, an _ English teacher who enjoys Southwest most of all because the students are mature and responsible. Other new teachers include Dorothy Black, Elizabeth White, Bon- nette Womack, Cherry Greene, Chery! Johnson and Mary Newberry. O.K., Southwest, let's make a good impression.

What is Margaret Faircloth doing on that bor with her skirt hiked up? Has teaching finally gotten to these folks?”’ No, these teachers loved the idea of an ‘out of character’ shot, which shows that teaching has kept them young, fun-loving, and flexible. Flexible is their main characteristic because in their twenty-plus years, most of which they have taught at Southwest, they have lived through a multitude of changes. Most of them remember when the girls attended Class at McEvoy and the boys at Willingham, when the black and white high schools integrated, when year-long courses were broken into quarters, when quarter courses were combined into year-long courses, when students were allowed to graduate early and when that decision was reversed. “Life on a see-saw keeps you young,” chuckled Leonard Battle. “And there is no better see-saw than Southwest.” TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Richard Mathis teaches Social Studies with map.

Although debate requires endless hours of pretournament practices and superb self-motivation, the debators and Sherry Taylor, their advisor, agree that the thrill of these mental gymnastics is worthwhile. For the first time in twenty years, Southwest has a ‘'One-Act-Play”’ competition team. Under the direction of John Jones, Evie Crumbliss, and Tonya Munderloh, seven students prac- ticed two to three hours daily, perform- ed “The Ugly Duckling’ and placed eighth out of twelve schools in a very prestigious competition. Mr. Jones feels it is Q good beginning and gives a lot of hope in Southwest One-Act-Play Competition. This year Norma Neubold proceeded with another Southwest first, a Science Bowl team. She feels that the Science Bowl is “the ultimate learning ex- perience,”’ and is proud of the students who gave their personal time for such a valuable endeavor.

Since the first grade, Andy has been crazed with hunting fever. Under his father’s guidance, Andy started by going bird- hunting; now he hunts squir- rels, rabbits and, occasional ly, deer. But, Andy’s hunting craze goes deeper than most. No longer does Andy consider hunting a hobby; it has blos- somed into a career goal. During his Senior year, he interned with the Game and Fish Commission and his fu- ture plans are to become a wildlife technician.

Christian Pamela Jordan first became _ interested _ in fashion and out-of-the or- dinary clothes when she was eleven. Somehow oar that time, she became aware of fashionable clothing through television, magazines, and fashionably dressed people. Now she spends much free time in preparinc her outfits for upcoming occasions.

This early interest was furthered when her step-grandfather gave her his collection. By having penpals in many different countries, Jacqueline has been able to get a wide variety of stamps to add to her collection. Many stamps were acquired by trading with other collectors. Jacqueline is planning to continue building her collec- tion, which she will pass to her children who she hopes will enlarge it and continue passing it from generation to ll) GENETOHNON: 126 — Seniors Greg E.

But for adventure, his hobby is karate. To Theoda, karate helps refresh the body physically as well as mentally. It also provides an excellent means of protection. Theodoa’s interest in karate came about on his own. It was something new that he wanted to get involved in. After a year of instruction at a local karate school, his un- cle, a captain in the Navy, further trained him. Theoda now spends less time with his hobby, but its benefits will remain. Since he plans to enter the military, his present interest in karate may help him pro- tect not just himself but us. Kathy Hammock Jance M. Hamrick Darryl J. Hancock Vickie B. Hand Raymond V.

Jody developed an interest in bow hunting when his uncle took him to an archery range. Since that time, he has gotten his own archery equipment and stays in practice by shoot- ing af targets weekly and by hunting. Besides being good enter- tainment, archery relieves his built up frustrations and so it makes him more capable of handling pressures. Heck, Who knows? Jody Pierce may very well be on his way to becoming our very Own twentieth century Robin Hood. Seniors — 133 5 Cc I 3 Deborah A. Holmes Cynthia R. Holston Peggy L. Hooker Angel M.

When she was young, Mary and her grandmother worked with plants together. Later, she and her father planted a garden. She thinks her love for plants stems from these early ex- periences. Because of the time involved, Mary is limited to weekend garden- ing, bur she does take care of her potted plants each day. Mary enjoys her hobby and will continue to work with plants. At present, she does not know if she wants to dedicate her whole life to what is now just a rewarding hobby. Seniors — 141 142 — Seniors Two hundred years ago, it was not unusual for a young person to take an interest in classical music, but today, it is almost unheard of. This is not true though with Southwest's Velma Allen, who plays the viola, an in- strument similar to the violin. Velma became interested in the viola in the ninth grade when she saw an or- chestral performance aft the auditorium. She was ab- solutely amazed at the skill of the performers and decid- ed to take lessons at school. Velma now practices af least twice a week, for sometimes three hours af a sitting. She hopes to continue after graduation with her own learning Pam Moore Todd Moore Bernard Moran Kristen G. Morelock Sabrina R. Morgan David W. Morris Todd E. Morris Drake Moulton William T.

There’s Larry Naylor over there taking Kim Boston's picture. He sure is a clown — always moking funny faces and cracking jokes. But when it comes to pictures, he’s the best!

My goodness, it's already my turn. Larry’s walking towards me with that big grin on his face so he’s got to be up to something. Take my advice, never turn your back on a smiling photographer Here comes Lori Alliston, the girl that the poem | copied yesterday was dedicated to. It's a wonderful day to remember All the fun and the laughter we've shared All the times thot we've turned to each orher When we needed somebody who cared.

Accompanying the varying personalities of in- dividuals attending Southwest is a wide range of in- terests for both boys and girls. Although the interests may differ from person to person, as a whole, teens share common leisure activities such as music and dancing or talking on the telephone. On weekends and throughout the week, tons of young people pour into weight rooms and spas try- ing to keep in good physical condition. Besides “working-out,”” students enjoy participating in sports affiliated with the school or on their own. Swim- ming, volleyball, frisbee, and skiing are just a few examples of fun at the lake. Orhers are satisfied 176 — Juniors with skating for fun and exercise or perhaps bowl- ing with a few friends at one of the local alleys. It also is not unusual to see friends jogging or biking in the evenings. Guys seem to get into working on cars or other mechanical devices opposed to girls who are reputed to love to shop. Whatever their interests may be, the teens are united through their in- dividualities and their similarities in weekend and leisure activities. TOP.

It all started with a phone call — the one you had waited and hoped for. Excitement, elation, and joy were the first emotions you felt; then came the nervousness and worry. ‘What shall | wear? | don't want to look too dressed up! ’ Finally, you ran out the door hoping you would be a success. All day “the big man” looked you dead in the eyes — watching, evaluating. “How am | going to get through this! you wondered? But you did get through it. Your nervousness was unnoticed; the fear, not apparent. The next day you received a second call — one confirming your hopes, starting new dreams. 4162 — Juniors Many Juniors had similar experiences last year, getting their first job. It was an exciting and impor- tant moment, one that opened new doors and op- portunities. Perhaps it was not a job that command- ed tremendous skill, maybe it was not a job that led to the solving of world hunger, but it was a job — a step out into the world of money, labor, and responsibility. It was the first major part of the transi- tion from a teenager to a young adult; from dependence to independence. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Lillian Simmons enjoys helping customers at Long John Silvers.

Juniors — 185 _ love...’ — Edgar Allen Poe How intense a feeling love is when experienced to its fullest heights and depths! The fear and an- ticipation of that long awaited first date is past history for the worldly Junior. He has searched for that perfect someone by dating many fun-loving classmates. Often, even at this tender age, the love bug bites. Love is often considered ‘for adults only,”’ like an x-rated movie and when felt by teens, referred to as puppy love. Yet, the deep emotion among high school students cannot be regarded lightly. Is it not 186 — Juniors ee cit Juniors! Is this love or just infatuation? “But we loved with a love that was more than possible for teens to experience the love that Poe wrote of? Kim Parker, a Junior at Southwest, seems to think so. She feels that for Juniors, love begins as a friendship. Then it progresses to puppy love. But with each passing day, it matures and grows into the intense passion of an adult love. The adult love, felt at 16 or at 25, all started the same way: as pup- py love. All agreed that love, regardless of the age experienced, deepens with time.

The students rushed from the classrooms, ran to their cars or bus, and upon reaching home, began dreaming and planning the short weekend ahead. But what is there to do on a Friday or Saturday night besides go to the movies, Out to eat, or just ride around with friends? Many students discovered a thrilling alternative — bowling! Fun, exciting, and relaxing was the way Gloria Redmond described bowling. Scott Cumbie likes bowling because it is for everyone whether big or small, young or old, short 4190 — Juniors or tall. Missy Menchew said even though she could not bowl well, she loved to hang out at the bowl- ing alley with her friends and meet new people. There is only one time bowling is the pits: when the ball zooms — not down the alley — but backwards, crashing into the chairs and tables in the snack area. The second time that happens, it is time to find another weekend activity. For most Southwest students, the bowling craze has hit!

What did you say was in your locker? A Mello- Yellow can and a stale, smushed twinkie? You say it's for emergencies? What else do you have in there? It may be growing ih When glancing through lockers, it is quite normal to find wads of paper thrown upon a pile of books and folders crammed into a dull, gray locker. It is also just as normal to find lockers resembling a ‘home away from home, decorated with a multitude of pictures and other personal items from home to give the locker a lived in look.” When scrounging through the junk, one may discover a misplaced shoe, an over-due library A | book, a current Rock and Soul magazine, or breakfast from a few months back that was saved for another day. To brighten the scene, it is com- mon to find one of the popular male stripper calen- dars Or a poster of a punk rock group.

Donald found one that he wanted and plans to work extra hard to win the contest. From there | picked up Paige Tucker and Beverly Butler and took them to Ed Foster Designs at 968 First Street so they could buy one of their friends a tag for her car. They had trouble deciding because there was a wide selection of colors and styles. There's no telling which one they finally picked because | had to leave to pick my mom up.

Of the many different views on love, all agreed it is a strong feeling between two people who care for one another. To Kim Duggan, love is a friend who is always there and who cares. Love makes her feel special as it does all of us. But where does love begin? Most girls noticed guys for the way they treated them, but the guys seemed to look for faces and figures. Everyone looked for a good personality. Vernell Watts was attracted to James Marshall because of his fine figure and personality. Since their meeting at a Ballard B dance, she has found herself attracted to him because of his politeness. 208 — Sophomores Vernell also likes the way James carries himself in a respectful way. Almost everyone agreed that love is forgiving and forgetting, caring and sharing. No matter how love started, it always led to a bond between the two who could share things no others could share, who were honest with each other, and who could cry as well as laugh together. Thar is Sophomore love. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: James Marshall and Vernell Watts share light conversation on the mezzanine at the Macon Mall.

A New Program at Southwest Gets on the Move There was a new program added to Southwest in the 1983-84 school year. The Magner Program which was instituted several years ago, grew into the Magnet Program in all three Senior Highs, in- volving sixty Sophomores at Southwest. This year, each magnet Sophomore was required to take a computer course led by Dr. John A. Bond, Qa computer specialist. From there, they chose to take world history from Dinah Brown, Biology from James Hinson, Richard Merchant or Dorothy Welborn, and English from Cynthia Carey, Eleanor Taylor or Anne Wilkinson. The. magnet sophomore’s classes remained 216 — Sophomores basically the same as other Sophomore classes. They were held in the same rooms, the students were taught the same material, and they received the same credits. But, once a week on a particular day, each class relocated to Willingham A where they were instructed by Dr. Bond and were allow- ed to use the computers. The new program was definitely an asset to Southwest. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Dr. John Bond demonstrates a procedure on one of the computers.

On the other hand, peer pressure sometimes encourages 220 — Sophomores teens to strive for good grades and athletic awards.

Since then, nobody can find her. She's always in the bathroom making sure her hair is in place. They did a great job! They also specialize in skin care, cold waves, and precision curls. When we finally found Wanda, we also found Tracy Thomas brushing her teeth. She assured us that she was not going crazy by explaining about her dental appointment with Dr. Robert Mattox at 2440 Ingleside Avenue. : On the way to fourth period Karen GEORGIA Stone asked me to drop her off at the Georgia Dermatology Clinic at BEAUTYLAND DERMATOLOGY 700 Spring Street after school.

Of course, we are known for academic excellence and a great athletic program, but loom- ing above everything else is that Outstanding spirit. You do not find it in a curriculum guide or course offering form because the students have created it themselves. Even an unhumanized computer would realize that regardless of wins or losses, successes or failures, triumphs or defeats, the spirit of the Southwest student will never die. It will continue to capture more and more hearts (and bytes) for generations to come Student Life Division — 237 BEGINNING OF SCHOOL [a Once Again Students, Back To The Basics Mid August During that time of the year doing their jobs, were sent crashing into a wall nost teens were still in the bed at 11:00 A.M across the cozy bedroom By 11:30 A.M., they had slowly burt sur Finally, after a series of dozing and snooze with the sun pouring into their faces, dragged alarms, students struggled out of bed and themselves out of the bed and were counting prepared for school down the rest of the lazy summer days.

Included in its shining interior will be fifteen programs: Ariculture Cosmetology, Construction, two Diversified Cooperative Training (DCT) programs, Draft- ing, Electro-Mechanics, Electronics, Food Ser- vice, Horticulture, two Marketing and Distributive Education (MDE) programs, Metal Working, Transportation, and Related Voca- tional Instruction (R. V.1.) The ground breaking of the new $2.5 million dollar vocational secondary school was held on Monday, November 22, 1982 Architect Oscar L.Harris believes the greenhouse is one of the most exciting parts of the building. It provides a focal point for the whole layout of the school, and also provides a heat gain in the winter months to reduce the heating costs. The Cosmetology area is laid out like a beauty salon with a reception counter and chairs. It will soon be open to the public, as will the auto-mechanic department. Turner Associates Architects and Planners, Inc., designed the second floor galleries so that they overlook the various shop areas. In fact, the whole facility is designed so that one can easily observe throughout the building. Ironically, Southwest has outgrown it before the first class entered. Both the Business and the Home Economics departments will, therefore, remain in the general curriculum. The facility was designed to unify the four- building campus and when its doors finally open in the fall of ‘84, the entire campus will benefit. The long-promised central bell will eliminate late-to-class problems once and for all. HURRAY! HURRAY!

The courses be- ing offered in schools today are unlimited Young people are being given the chance to learn everything from cooking a gourmet meal to styling someone's hair, plus the basics. Why all the different courses? Because they help students in preparing for careers experiencing new ideas, and even gaining a better understanding of themselves The demand for people with skills in the vocational areas such as Business Education Auto Mechanics, Industrial Arts, Construction Cosmetology, and Drafting is steadily rising Therefore, more high school courses are of- fered in these areas. After completing two to four years of high school study, a student can usually get a good job without a college education. However, if the student wishes to Writing and go further into his field, schools like Macon Tech are great for higher training. Of course the academics are still high on the list of importance, as a good academic background is still the greatest requirement ee om 9 ‘ . Pes Uline ke: A tear nite AE Ao when seeking employment. The basics are still pushed, but there is a greater variety Take, for the English and Social Studies departments. Courses such Mankind Relations, World Religions Black American Literature, and Drama are becoming more and more popular. They allow students to better understand the over- whelming world they live in and suggest a way fo cope with it. Years ago, school gave no preparation for the world students had to face or what they would do after school Now, most graduates at least know whether or not they will attend college or go straight to work Not only do these courses help students dur- ing school hours, but some even take them in- to the world to get actual experience One class which has done this is the World Religions class taught by Evie Crumbliss. Throughout the year, groups of her students took several field trips to Monasteries cemeteries, and churches of different denominations. Through these visits, the students realized the differences in beliefs, and a lot of their confusions were cleared up nstance Os Foreign a _ aan ae ae ae Virginia Phillips also took her Foreign Rela- tions classes on a trip. All year long, they raised finally set out to Washington D.C. The purpose of the trip was to better acquaint themselves with the customs of foreign coun- tries through a mock United Nations program for high school students The only problem now is getting more students involved. Once that goal is reached, there will be no limits to how diverse Southwest can become through use of the many courses offered.

If Jane had three dollars, and $1.25 of it was in quarters, how many dimes and nickels would she have?’ For three straight days, September 27-29, Sophomore classes mustered through the Basic Skills Test and questions similar to the previous one. In between straining their brains, the Sophomores probably daydreamed about all the fun the Seniors and Juniors were having. On Tuesday, the Seniors resembled the Sophomores as they took the Armed Services’ Vocational Aptitude Battery Test (ASVAB). For three hours, the Seniors sat in either the gym or the cafeteria and labored through simple arithmetic, vocabulary, counting, general science, mechanics, and electrical sciences. At the same time, the Juniors made important decisions about colors, sizes, etc. of their tradi- tional Senior rings ordered from the also tradi- tional Balfour Company On Wednesday, the Seniors skipped school — legally! Over 750 upperclassmen strolled through a peaceful neighborhood on their way to the Wesrgate Theater where they saw either ‘Mr. Mom’ or ‘Tootsie.’ Both movies proved to be just as hilarious as ex- pected and were thoroughly enjoyed. Also on Wednesday, the Juniors brooded over the ASVAB, while the Sophomores continued to miss all the fun and struggled with participles and square roots. On Thursday, the Seniors as well as the Juniors sat back and enjoyed a student council sponsored talent show. Many variations of talent including dancing, singing, violin play- ing, and even a humorous short skit were per- formed by a few of our talented students. Meanwhile, the Sophomores remained in good spirits by imagining all the fun the Juniors and Seniors were having and by knowing that it was their final day of testing!

There couldn't have been a more ap- propriate theme for one of the best Homecomings ever During first period on Friday, September 23rd, a pep rally ignited spirit in the student body for the big game. The students yelled and cheered as the cheerleaders led them Afterwards, the Homecoming nominees par- ticipated in a short skit which viewed the changes in cheerleaders over the years and Coach Hatcher said a few encouraging words about our varsity foorball ream Tenseness was felt everywhere that night as the football team struggled to win the game and the Homecoming nominees sat on edge. Finally the moment arrived. The band played, the nominees paraded across the field, and the Homecoming Queen and Mr. Southwest for 1983, Christie Tucker and Kenny Shepherd, were proudly announced. Due to unavoidable circumstances, the title of Homecoming Queen was later awarded to the first runner-up, Beverly Plunkett. During the week of October 24th-26th, Southwest conducted its annual Goofy Goblin activities. Each morning, the Goofy Goblins from each class picked up their pumpkins and, throughout the day, collected money from students. The Senior Goofy Goblins, Paul Whitehead, Bevery Plunkett, Joe Rozier, Christie Tucker, 246 — Goofy Goblin and Homecoming Tim Stenson, Kenny Shepherd, Brigitte Davis, and Candy Lucas collected $217.52 with Paul collecting the most, out of not just the Seniors, but all the Goofy Goblins. The Seniors per- formed a skit as fairy tale characters seeking the definition of spirit. At the end, the ‘Real Wayne” appeared and showed them the real’ meaning. $107.59 was collected by the Junior Goofy Goblins: Carolyn McMullins, Kim Parker, Chris Freeman, Denise Griggs, Tony Bugg, Troy Dillard, Kelly Collins, and Derrick Wilson with Derrick coming out on top. The Juniors per- formed their version of ‘The Wrong Show.” The Sophomore Goofy Goblins, Jarratt Cross, Willette Jones, Jeff Baker, Kim Duggan, Dana Harris, Len Reid, Ernest Henderson, Bridgette Taylor, and Jeanette Powers, collected $99.68 with Len collecting the most. The Sophomores put on a beauty contest dressed as crazy characters such as ‘Ms. T.”’ A special thanks went to Kay Stuart, Wanda Dumas, Lisa Roberts, and Sylvester Hollis for being stand-ins for some of the Seniors. All in all, Goofy Goblin '83 was a success with a grand total of $424.79 being collected. TOP, LEFT TO RIGHT: Sophomore Goblins await their presentation. Senior Goblins lead cheers.

The week began on October 31st with Pumpkin Day. Since October 31st was also Halloween, it coin- cided with the pumpkins hidden by Student Council members on the previous Friday After students found the pumpkins and before turning them in for a prize, they were to write their name on the back for a big drawing. A pumpkin full of candy was given to Dawn Cobb for hers was the name drawn. Activities for the week were picked up on Wednesday with the grand ‘’Punk Rock Day.”’ A contest was held in each building to see who was the best dressed punker. Monica Goodwin was chosen in MB, Veronica Roberts, Tony Ziegler in MA, and Jeff Baker in WA. The campus was definitely given a new look with students everywhere wearing everything from leopard mini skirts to safety pin earrings. Also, if you needed any colored hair spray Wednesday night, too bad Southwest students cleaned the stores. Thursday was Hat and Shades Day. Some people got really crazy with the idea and wore lampshades on their heads! Everyone, of course, looked forward to the big bonfire to be held that night. Bunches of students crowded into the South Macon Ballpark around the fire and watched as the Central Charger dummy was cremated The climax of the activities came on Friday with the big funeral for Central. The “Reverend Murphy” led the procession, followed by the pall bearers carrying the casket. Then, as students cheered, the reverend made a few last remarks before laying the remains fo rest.

Of course, spirit is always found af Southwest, but it seems to be stronger at cer- tain times of the year. Christmas is one of those times and Christmas ‘83 was no exception. During the week before the holidays, students from all classes were busy decorating and preparing for the annual Christmas events. Each morning during supervision, they collected donations to buy presents for their adopted nursing home residents. On the very morning before the holidays the Seniors, during first period, threw their big Senior Christmas party. There was music, dan- cing, refreshments, and the grand finale of some faculty members performing their ver- sion of The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Shortly afterwards, each class crowded into their designated gym for their Christmas as- semblies. The Sophomores received a grand treat as members of the chorus sang Christ- mas carols for them. The Juniors were also treated with beautiful music as the concert band performed a combination of carols. The Seniors, on the other hand, did not hear any melodious voices or instruments. Instead, they were honored with a special guest to help fill them with Christmas spirit . . . Santa Claus. All three assemblies did have one thing in common. Each class presented their gifts to their nursing home residents. That in itself was proof of the special effect Christmas ‘83 had on Southwest students.

School life at Southwest consists not only of a strong academic background bur also of special assemblies and events which give students a variety of learning experiences. To start the year off, Seniors had the honor of having Dr. Wayne Ates speak af their Thanksgiving assembly. Dr. Ates, a Minister from Florida, frequently makes trips to high schools around the South. Humorously, yet with a serious undertone, Dr. Ates encour- aged students to stay straight and take full ad- vantage of life’s golden opportunities. One event that lasted all through fall and part of winter was the Annual sales. Every year the Annual Staff makes trips to supervi- sions to collect payments. Then, the supervi- sion in which each student buys a book gets their names put on the outside for free. This year's winning supervision was 210 as it has been for more than five years! Keep it up! To give students a taste of cultural enrich- ment, the Art Department brought in a travel- ing Art Show full of work from high schools in the Middle Georgia area. The paintings, which varied from abstracts to self portraits, were displayed for a week on the walls and bulletin boards in the McEvoy B lobby. Because of their beauty, the paintings added acertain air of distinction to our school. Among all of the greatest activities of Southwest is the Student Council — sponsored Blood Drive, which, this year, was held on Deecember 8th. For two weeks prior to this December 8th. For two weeks prior to this date, Council members worked diligently on recruiting volunteers who were af least seventeen years of age and weighed over 110 pounds.

Last year, several events such as attendance con- tests, pep rallies, etc., led up to the big com- petition. This year, however, there were no activities; there was only the big competition On January 25th, competition was held between the Juniors and Sophomores. The Juniors, dressed completely in blue with blue pirate hats and pennants, filed quietly into a sign covered gym. The Sophomores followed all dressed in white with white paper spirit hands. After was in, the Sophomore lads and lasses, Jeff Baker, Staret- ta Johnson, Eddie Walker, Willette Jones, Tony Ziegler, Debbie Walker, Ernest Hender- son, and Brenda Benton, performed a dance dressed as pirates. Then the Junior lads and lasses, Tony Bugg, Carolyn McMullins, Denise Griggs, Troy Dillard, Derrick Wilson, Kelli Stone, Kelly Collins, and Chris Freeman, acted out a skit adapted from the Wizard of Oz Finally the competition began as Senior Joe Rozier took control of the stick. It was a tough decision, but the Juniors won On January 26th, competition was held between the champion Seniors and the Juniors. There was an even greater silence as im everyone hh the Juniors filed once again into the gym followed closely by the Seniors, dressed in their red clothes, bow ties and top hats. The Junior lads and lasses performed their skit Then it was time for the Senior lads and lasses Kay Stuart, Eldrida Carter, Paul Whitehead, Candy Lucas, Barry Dean, Beverly Plunkett, Tim Stenson, and Quinton Tard, to act out their skit. Dressed in regular clothes, some of them portrayed students without any spirit Then, out of the blue, a special appearance was made by “Mikie Jackson” (Quinton Tard) as he showed everyone the way fo spirit With one raise of the stick, held by Sophomore Jarratt Cross, the gym was bom- barded with the screams and cheers of over 1,700 students. With one downward sweep of the stick, the gym was once again quiet.

The next view of the girls came as they were presented in casual wear and formally introduced themselves to the audience. While still in their casual wear, they sang a beautiful song with Charles Murphy. Finally, the contestants and their escorts were presented in their formal attire and more in- formation about each girl was read to the au- dience. Between each segment of the pro- gram, the audience was entertained by selec- tions from the Southwest Jazz Group, dancing from the student group Wave Kontrol, and songs from the outstanding voice of Gwen Moore. Before the announcement of the winners, a special appearance was made by Miss Afro Macon 1984, Eldrida Carter. Then the program was turned over to Charles Murphy, who an- nounced the winners. They are as follows Miss Sophomore — Tracy Fuller, Miss Junior — Paige Tucker, Miss Senior — Kay Stuart, Third runner-up — Jane Horton, Second runner-up — Kelli Stone, first runner-up — Ann Spivey, and Miss Sweetheart 1984 — Brigitte Denise Davis!

Miss Sweetheart received $50 in cash, a huge trophy, flowers, and a magnificent rhinestone crown.

Nineteen beautiful young ladies’ competed for the big title of Mr Miss Southwest.’ Ir all began backstage when the Civinettes helped the guys ac- complish the almost impossible, becoming beautiful. They began with the swimsuit com- petition in which all of the wellendowed ladies’ showed off their beautifully shaped physiques. As the night progressed, they had the talent competition where each male member had a chance to perform ‘'her’’ hid- den talents. The last chance they had to win was in the evening gown competition where each competitor dressed in “her’’ most ex- travagant formal wear. The judges then nar- rowed it down by choosing five finalists Neider Capalungan, Terry Napier, Maurice Green, Troy Dillard, and Ricky Leach. Each of the five finalists were asked a question ex- temporaneously. As the judges conversed to decide who the winner would be, the five finalists stood nervously awaiting the judges decision. This year’s choice — Maurice Green the new Southwest beauty queen. Maurice was crowned and hugged by the 1983 queen, Paul Whitehead. Maurice received several Michael Jackson records, twenty dollars, flowers, and the queen’s crown. Thus ended, for another year, one of the most entertaining and hilarious events at Southwest TOP.

E SENIOR PLAY Senior Play Deemed Hilarious — Excellent Do you trust your boyfriend?” This is a popular topic among gossiping girls, but it took on a more important aspect as the title of the 1984 Senior play. After competing in tryouts against an estimated forty others, ten talented Seniors were selected to portray the following characters: Kay Meredith — Angela Pearson, Lois Andrews — Eldrida Carter, Madeline Ross — Colicia Hanson, Steve Woodand — Joe Rozier, Tom Nolan — Rodney Davis, Phil Hunter — Paul Whitehead, Judy Meredith — Shirley Boone, Bessie Trotter — Debra Freeman, Miss Denny — Lisa Smith, G. T. Ellison — Maurice Green. The play consisted of three acts and was literally about two girls who did not trust their boyfriends with a beautiful model. The audience roared as the girls got themselves into hilarious predicaments trying to hide the model from the boys. Finally, the girls kept their boyfriends, the flirtatious model found herself another little man and, as always, everyone lived happily ever ofter! Congratulations goes to Rodney Davis who tackled the role of Tom Nolan three weeks before the play, after the death of Timothy Stenson to whom the cast dedicated the play.

Carefully planned months in advance by Student Council, Spring Fling Week, held April 23 through 27, was filled with activities, some familiar, others new to Southwest. Through posters and announcements, the students were made aware of the various outfits fo be worn each day. Students were directed to wear jeans and jerseys to start the week. The amusing costumes worn on Hobo Day were certainly a change from the familiar dress: designer jeans and Ocean Pacific shirts. Wednesday, Muscle Shirr Day, was the day for guys as well as girls to show off their muscles. The ever-popular Kitty Day follow- ed. Teddy bears, ribbons, and diapers re- placed the usual attire. The grand finale, the Spring Festival, was the climax of the week. During both lunch 262 — Spring Fling periods, the students enjoyed milling around, participating in the tug-o-war, cake walk, and many other events. They especially enjoyed the Pep Club sponsored breakdance contest. All together, the week was fascinating and different from any other school week. TOP.

Nothing, especially if you are a teenager. Of course you can sit home and watch T.V. and be aggravated by little sisters and brothers but most Southwest students prefer to go Out and have a good time. Evie Crumbliss and the students in her classes have been working with the city, trying to start a Youth Commit tee with representatives from school to find a place where teenagers can get together. On May 19 there was a “Main Event’ held at the Macon Coliseum especially for teenagers. This one-day event was set up two each so they could aanc piay video games JV what skating.

Therefore, in January of this year, a poll was taken in four supervisions from each class to gather students’ opinions on some of the latest events and most popular fads The first part of the poll hit really close to home with teenagers as they were asked what they thought about the smoking ban the drinking age, and DUI (driving under the influence) laws. Though it may seem hard to believe, most teens were very much for the smoking ban. It seems that the number of smoking teens is decreasing. The non-smokers feel that it is bad enough having to encounter smoke out in public and at home without hav- ing to tolerate it at school too While the number of smoking teens has decreased, the number of drinking teens seems to have increased. Students are drink- ing at much earlier ages, so they, therefore feel that the drinking age should be lowered Even though they have negative views on the drinking age, a large percent of the drinkers have very positive views on the DUI laws. It looks as though all of rhe publicity drinking and driving had a good effect young people Although it has been a couple of since ‘Them Dawgs scored so big with across the South, they are still 1 in the hearts of the majority of the Southwest Patriots. The new craze of Cabbage Patch Dolls, however did not score so big. They felt rhar ‘there was no excuse for so many people being injured over a doll that was ugly in the first place The last part of the poll concerned opinions on state and national events, two of them be- ing the death sentence and the nuclear arms race. Students seem to be confused about the death sentence. Most feel that murder is wrong — no exceptions — but they truly have their doubts with someone who has been so ruthless and cold blooded as fo kill in the first place As for the nuclear arms race, students stand firmly against it. Most of them want nothing more than peace between nations, which also seems to be what everyone else wants Also included in the poll was a separare Ng Vocalist .

Not Plastic — SW Students Overstretch Normal Boundarys After a long day at school, Southwest students are more than ready to relax and start enjoying the pleasures of life. After work- ing for so long, tension and frustrations tend to build up and tire a person out. Therefore, each individual has his own activities for get- ting rid of these pressures. We are now living in an age where people are becoming fitness freaks. Everyone is in- fatuated with losing weight and getting in shape, so the spas and school weightrooms stay full. After all, what better way to release tensions than exercising, which is exactly what Steve Grayer and Debbie Coleman do. Steve is a popular basketball player at Southwest, so he has to stay in shape. He always works out in the weightroom and does a routine of stretching exercises to stay limber for the big games. Debbie enjoys working out just for the pleasure of staying in shape and toning her muscles. She jogs around her neighborhood at least twice a week. She also enjoys and looks forward to a nice dip in the whirlpool after a workout, to relax tightened joints. While Debra and Steve like exercising in their spare time, Debra Addleton prefers a more cultural activity, playing the piano. She has been playing since she was a small child and has progressed quite a bit over the years. In fact, her performance is so good that she sometimes teaches younger students to play. She has also performed several times at school functions. More than anything though, Debra likes to play simply for the plain enjoyment. These are only a few of the many activities students have, but these activities all do the same thing. They give students a chance to relax and enjoy themselves, which is just what the doctor ordered for a happy and healthy life! TOP: Steve Grayer does stretching exercises whenever he has the chance.

Spinning on your head, spinning on your knees, spinning while you just cannot see. Thar is the new craze — better known as Breakdancing. Breaking originated from street dancers in New York and it became popular after this years super box office hit Flashdance. Breaking, which is associated with poppin’ and the Electric Bugaloo, is also a form of body language. But teenagers feel that breaking is more than just dancing; it is more than a different way fo get a message across to a friend; it is a skill that only a few gifted and talented people can master. Those 272 — Breakdancing teens who have not yet mastered the skill have certainly enjoyed trying to. Danger: Those over thirty should be warned that Breaking can be hazardous to your health.

Spring has arrived! Along with the natural occurences in spring are some unnatural occurences planned by man — more specifically, special events oc- curring at Southwest which are brought to mind each year as spring rolls around. Spring Fling, pictured on pages 262 and 263, is the most prevalent of those mindful events. A multitude of assembies fall during spring time. Many assemblies were annual such as the election of class officers. Then we were privileged with special speakers like ‘‘Butter- fly’’ McQueen who played ''Prissy ’ in Gone With the Wind. Up With People also per- formed an exceptional program. A big part of the end of the school year for an underclassman was registering for the next year's classes. Seniors received their an- nouncements and their caps and gowns. Of course, there is always the Junior Senior Prom to look forward to. The Juniors worked unceasingly for months trying to make the night perfect for each couple attending. This spring was especially eventful, thanks 276 — Spring Events to the Pep Club-sponsored Gloria Washington Roast to honor “a special kind of pricipal.'’ On May 15, Gloria Washington was ‘lured”’ to the MB gym where the annual editor had her ar- rested for ‘committing the offense of being nice.’’ Student Council representatives gave her potatoes and carrots to go with her roast, followed by similar jests from other club representatives. Mrs. Washington's evening was capped by hilarious remarks from her husband and by a presentation of a clock plaque by Pep Club Advisor Charles Murphy. As spring fades away into summer and the golden school days come to a close, these events are once again a memory, But, of course, there is always next year...

Clad in the newest evening fashions, accented by gloves and pumps, canes and hats. The traditional prom pictures were taken before the dance. Following pictures, most couples went out to dine at Macon’'s finest restaurants: afterwards, they returned fo dance. The night went along smoothly with the band known as ‘The Frat’ playing popular songs. Just as all fairy tales must come to an end, the Junior-Senior prom turned into a happy memory at midnight, but for most Juniors and ‘Putting on the Ritz’ Seniors, the night was not over because at Six Flags Over Georgia, it was Senior Night and the celebration of the Seniors’ last prom continued. Yes, May 11, 1984, was a Classy, unbelievable, Cinderella fairy tale for the classiest classes at Southwest.

Before the ceremony began, the Seniors displayed mixed emotions — there were those who remained solemn, there were those who cried, and there were those who remained cheerful. When the graduates final- ly did file into the Coliseum for the main event, the arena was packed with well wishers. After the Invocation by Brigitte Davis, Elaina Evans, John Kimbro, and Kim Carter gave their speeches. Elaina’s speech stressed the fact that success is measured on barriers passed, rather than on positional status. John’s message dealt with the fact that one should learn from his mistakes. Kim's message was based on the notion that each of the graduates should turn stumbling blocks into stepping stones. These speeches were followed by remarks by Gloria Washington, Thomas Hagler, and David Brotherton. Then, the moment arrived when the seniors walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. A standing ovation was given to David Pea- cock as he received a medal of distinction and his diploma. When the last name was called, the Seniors sang their ‘Song of Farewell,”’ directed by Doris Terry. After the benediction by Kay Stuart and the recessional, the Seniors turned their attention to either partying, af- tending the Senior Cruise, or just plain hugging and crying.

Michael Jackson's album Thriller sold over 30 million copies and it earned him a record eight Gram- mys. On the flipside of all this happiness was the tragedy in Lebanon in October. Two hundred eighteen Marines, eighteen sailors, and three soldiers were reported dead after Syrian troops made Q surprise attack on the army camp. These two happenings highlighted an unforgettable year. On September 1, a Korean Air Lines 747 was hit by a Soviet air-to-air missile killing all 269 people on ward. September 2 marked the final edition of the 99 year old Macon News, our town’s evening paper. Sally Ride became the first woman from the U.S. in space in fall of ‘83. Gurion Bluford became the first black from any country in space when the U.S. attempted her first night departure. In 63 years of the Miss America Pageant, there had never been a black winner until Vanessa Williams walked away with the title this year. At the first of November the U.S. in- vaded Grenada. This invasion marked the first time in the history of the U.S. that the media was restricted. Deaths included: Boxing Champion Jack Dempsey, Lillian Carter, Composer lra Gershwin, Composer Eubie Blake, News Anchor Jessica Savitch, Football coach George Halas, Actor Michael Conrad, Singer Marvin Gaye, Musical Genius Count Basie, Football star Norm Van Brocklin, Senotor Henry Jackson, Soviet Prime Minister Yuri Andropov. Lech Walesa, leader of the Polish Solidarity movement, was named a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. The top movie was Terms of Endearment. A sleeper box office hit was Flashdance. The Best Actor award was given to Robert Duvall while the Best Actress was named Shirley McClain. The political scene came fo life with the Democratic party divided between contender Walter Mondale, Senofor Gary Hart, and Black Activist Rev. Jesse Jackson. The winner will face the incum- bent President Ronald Reagan. In sports, the reigning champions in- cluded the Boston Celtics in pro basket- ball, the Los Angeles Raiders in pro foot- ball, the Baltimore Orioles in pro baseball, Martina Navratilova in pro tennis, the Michigan Panthers in pro foot- ball, the Miami Hurricanes in college football, and the Georgetown Hoyas in college basketball.

Sally Ride, the first woman in space enjoys a restful High Technology is here to stay. There is no discarding it. The question is no longer ‘Should we let it bombard our lives?’’; it has now become a question of how much we will let it enter and influence us. A har- monious conclusion to that question would be to combine the good of high technology with our everyday simple lives, watching for and monitoring the bad of high technology. Or shall we plunge head first into the research and develop- ment of high technology, disregarding the possibility of mistakes and destruction. The choice is ours. What choice will we make as we attempt to EXPLORE HIGH TECHNOLOGY? 308 — Exploring High Technology 310 — Annual Stoff To Be Or Not To Be Impersonality In producing a complex yearbook with the theme, Exploring High Technology, there should not have been time for per- sonal interaction. Deadlines had to be met, pictures taken, copy written — whether we lived or died. Yet, through some mysterious phenomenon, the staff managed to put together a fine book and still enjoy each other's company. Tracie Wright, Classes, always got joked with about the way she pranced around, while Jamie Adkins, Classes, received jokes about her spacy personality. Genene Brooks, Chief Typist, always managed fo slide out of staying after school. Some of her excuses were hilarious. Everyone loved to see our Business Manager Bobbie Jo Barlow mad — she would have done well on the silver screen. Jeff Moody, Chief Photographer and Sports Editor, received comments that maybe he was not really sick for a week because he came back fo school so quickly after he was on his “deathbed.” Some of the staff members obtained some crazy nicknames. Kim _ Boston, became known as Buckwheat. Carolyn McMullins, was the chief joker on the staff. The staff returned the favor by giving her the nickname “Homecoming Dog. ’ Our Most Valuable staffer, Carol Miller, was nicknamed Frog. Colicia Hanson, was known by staff members as Puff. Puff had quite a year — she sustained a black eye, and an injured knee. Trudy Norris, our Ad- visor, was named, not nicknamed, but named Gertrude. There were, however, two normal peo- ple with no nicknames on the staff, Li sa Dean, our Artist, and Lisa Thomas, our Art Advisor. These two proved to be two of the best workers on the stoff. Lastly was our Editor-in-Chief Maurice Green, nicknamed Wilbur. Wilbur was perfect when he managed fo wear matching clothes, and was present for two straight days in his other classes. Well, impersonality was to have been the trademark for high technology, but with this staff, personality was the rule. TOP: First Row. Maurice Green, Bobbie Jo Barlow Second Row — Sitting.

Each of you know her — she is none other than Trudy Norris, the Ac- visor of the biggest operation on the school campus. The general school population knows her as always being energetic, very intelligent, and forever taking cigarette and coffee breaks. The annual staffs she has headed over the years know her to be a demanding perfectionist, a grand organizer and an | extremely hard worker. In the past three years, | have grown to know her as an excellent teacher and fun loving (after deadlines are mailed). She is constantly concerned about making sure my future blossoms into a success. And since this is her last publication, |, on behalf of the entire Southwest population, just want to say THANKS AND WELL DONE. It has been an honor to work on the Spirit of ‘84 and hopefully you will enjoy the book as much as | have enjoyed helping to produce it LOVE, MAURICE GREEN ROR OR OSL ACCOUNT NUMBER AMOUNT DUE !
